It can still begot registered and even if is is not registered then also it is valid though it is to be proved before civil court.

Yes, agreed with RaJ. But if the will is not registered take all precautionary measures so that your will copy is in the safe hands like your Lawyer, bank etc, in case of lost.

YES IT IS. WILL IS NOTHING BUT THE PRE ARRENGEMENT OF THE MAKER'S ASSET(MOVEABLE OR IMMOVEABLE) IT MUST CONTAIN DATE, SIGN. OF THE MAKER AND TWO WITNESSESS. SO AS PER THE LAW IT IS NOT COMPULSORY TO REGI. A WILL.

IT IS ALSO VAID IF IT IS WRITEN ON THE SIMPLE PAPER WITH MAKER'S  HANDWRITING.

Dear Suganth

If you wish to register the will in Mumbai, there is no requirement to pay any stamp duty.
